Chapter 255 Return to Xifengkou

"Mang Gurtai, take your people, find those people, and find a way to slaughter those people! At least we can't let them fire as recklessly as before, this kind of artillery, it's terrible....."

Mang Gurtai picked up the iron spear next to him and rode his thousand-mile horse. He clenched his gun, his pupils constricted, and his face was serious and cold. Since the Great War of Sarhu, the Dajin Kingdom has not been challenged in this way for a long time. The rumbling sound of artillery fire was like a rushing thunderbolt. The tiger's eyes widened sharply, and he shot out a Dao essence.

"In that direction, rush over and kill those hateful dogs," Mang Gurtai roared, like a bloodthirsty lion, running towards the place where death was made. The hooves of the horses were arrayed, and behind them were two thousand golden iron horses.

Mang Gurtai was fast, and the closer he got, the clearer the dull clanging sound became. Suddenly, his back was a little tight, and his instinctive body was short, clinging to the horse's back, when the sound of breaking the air came, and the screams of a Houjin soldier sounded behind him.

When he looked up again, Mang Gurtai saw a blur of figures in the distance, and those figures became clearer and clearer. After seeing the other party clearly, Mang Gurtai shrank his pupils suddenly, and his hands were sweating. There are so many people guarding it, it seems that the Han people have expected this a long time ago. Mang Gurtai had no other choice, and listening to the screams that came from the battlefield, he had to rush over and destroy the artillery. If you continue to bombard, this time it will be a fiasco.

So far, the cavalry of the Han people has not been dispatched on a large scale. Once defeated, the cavalry of the Han people caught up, how many people could survive in the end?

Gripping the iron spear and clamping the horse's back violently, Mang Gurtai roared angrily: "Rush over, the warriors of the Dajin Kingdom, you will win!" ”

"Roar!" The Jurchen cavalry shouted in unison, and they followed the Mang Gurtai forward, and not a single one of them was afraid of death. In their hearts, how could they lose to those Han people in the front of the battle? On the battlefield on horseback, even the Mongols did not dare to compare with the Jurchen men.

Liu Guoneng slowly raised his hand, he didn't have any panic, he just calmed down. After a while, a black-armored iron horse appeared at the front of the team, taking off Buhua holding a scimitar, the war horse slowly moved forward, when the distance between the two sides was still two miles, Tuo Buhua stood up from the war horse and yelled, "Kill!" ”

The originally slow steel heavy cavalry instantly increased its speed, running faster and faster, turning into a galloping black cloud, and in the blink of an eye, it collided with the Jurchen Iron Cavalry.

The Iron Armor Heavy Cavalry was built for cavalry hedging, and their mission was to crush the opponent in the cavalry hedge. Powerful defense and impact, cavalry guns in their hands, these heavy cavalry armed to the teeth, quickly told the Jurchens with practical actions who was the master of the battlefield. The collision without fear of death, the savage fighting, aroused the beastly nature in everyone's hearts, and no one would retreat at this time.

Bang Bang ...... Boom.....

Accompanied by the terrifying sound of artillery fire, the cavalry hedged, and there was also a result. In just a moment, the Jurchen cavalry formation was cut into two pieces, and the iron-clad heavy cavalry, like a meat-cutting knife, completely cut the pork from the middle. The Jurchen cavalry, which had been cut open, was separated from the left and right, and was much weaker. At this time, the main force under Liu Guoneng quickly surrounded it in a fan shape.

At the age of thirteen, Mang Gurtai followed Nurhachi to the east and west, and he was very familiar with the battlefield situation. At this moment, he felt a great pressure. He knew very well in his heart that the formation was cut, the impact formation could not be kept compact, the opponent was surrounded by a fan, his side lost space, and it would not take long to be blocked and beaten.

In a cavalry confrontation, this situation is very bad, and the best thing to do is to spread the assault to the flanks and reorganize the formation. Or retreat and reorganize.

The ironclad heavy cavalry that had crossed over had already reorganized their formation and connected the iron cables, and in the blink of an eye, a chain defense line was formed behind the Jurchen cavalry. Some of the battle-hardened Jurchen veterans had sensed that the situation was not good, and began to turn around with people, and they collided with the ironclad heavy cavalry again, and at this time, they discovered a terrible thing.

Because the ironclad heavy cavalry was connected by iron cables, the war horses were almost connected, even if the heavy cavalry on horseback was killed, but the war horses were still there. Even if the war horse died, it was still connected to the iron cable, and there were sharp blades hanging on the iron cables, and it was difficult for the war horse to rush over.

A veteran found Mang Gurtai and said with some panic: "Lord Belle, the back road is blocked, and the heavy cavalry behind has pressed up, and the situation is not good for us." ”

Mang Gurtai looked behind him, the formation had become scattered, and some of the Jurchen cavalry had a panicked look on their faces. Can't hesitate, the iron spear in his hand pointed into the distance, and the Jurchen cavalry began to rush to the left and right, and due to the weak defense of the two wings, the Jurchen cavalry quickly rushed out.

Tuo Buhua quietly watched the changes on the battlefield, and when Mang Gurtai scattered left and right to break through, the corners of his mouth moved, and a trace of contempt rose in his heart.

"Press up, don't let the Jurchens have a chance to reorganize the formation, the heavy cavalry is responsible for breaking through the formation. Mang Gurtai, do you think you still have a chance to fight again? ”

Tuo Buhua shouted, and the war horse under his crotch had already galloped forward. In the rear, Liu Guoneng still did not move with hundreds of soldiers, no matter how the battlefield changed, Liu Guoneng would not move, because he knew that his task was not to kill and injure the Jurchens, but to defend the fire battalion behind him.

Mang Gurtai urged the war horse, wanting to find a chance to fight again, but he couldn't take off the flowers and the cavalry in hot pursuit, some people on both sides had already been mixed up, how could there be a chance to reorganize the formation? The terrible ironclad heavy cavalry came again, and this time, in a neat formation, pressed down from the flanks at seemingly modest speed.

The heavy cavalry raided, and the weak flanks were like a layer of window paper, and the cavalry, which had just managed to get together, was once again crushed.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and Tobuhua led a thousand iron horsemen to intervene from the weakest middle of the Jurchens. Mang Gurtai roared in pain, the iron spear in his hand dripping with blood, he was extremely brave, but he still couldn't change this battlefield.

He knew that he had been defeated this time, completely defeated, and had already been defeated before he saw the artillery of the Han Chinese. The Han people set up heavy troops here, just waiting for the prey to come to the door.

There were fewer and fewer people around him, and Mang Gurtai took one last look at the cruel battlefield, and two tears flowed from the tiger's eyes. Withdraw, only withdraw, maybe a few people will survive.

Mang Gurtai finally withdrew, but there were less than 400 remnants of soldiers who followed him, and they charged to the death and paid huge casualties, but they returned in a crushing defeat. Tuo Buhua didn't chase deeply, because he still remembered what Liu Guoneng had said before.

The most important thing is to protect the Agni Camp, and if you lose the Agni Camp, you will only die. He didn't know why those people were so valuable, but he knew that military law was ruthless.

On the other side, in a moment of tranquility, He Jingyuan turned the muzzle of the cannon and aimed in the other direction, and the artillery fire blocked an area, and that was the only way for the remnants of Mang Gurtai's troops to flee back. On the gloomy battlefield, Mang Gurtai urged the people around him to keep running forward, and in their hearts, only by returning to Karaqin might be safe.

Rumble..... Mixed with the neighing of war horses, a puff of smoke rose, and Mang Gurtai saw that not far away, more than a dozen Jurchen warriors had fallen, and those wounded war horses were screaming with difficulty.

The artillery fire fell here, and Mang Gurtai froze, his heart had already been shocked by the cruel scene in front of him. Broken meat, blood, and severed limbs, how can the Jurchen warriors resist.......

"No, Lord Belle," shouted an old soldier who pounced, and she leaped and threw Manggultai off his horse. Immediately afterward, there was a series of artillery fire, which covered the area, and the ground turned black, leaving craters one after another. When the smoke cleared, those who were alive opened their misty teary eyes and looked around, feeling nothing but desolation and dead silence.

In a single pit, there was a burly man, his armor was tattered, his whole face was bloody and fleshy, his eyes were wide open, and the iron spear was clenched tightly in his hand.

Mang Gurtai, still dead!

The rest of the Jurchens were all dumbfounded, and a voice kept echoing in their hearts. The warrior of the Dajin Kingdom, Mang Gurtai, died in this way, and died in the enemy's artillery fire. Lord Belle is gone, can they still live when they go back? But where can you go if you don't go back?

........

Dai Shan has been waiting for the news ahead, but he was calm and calm in the past, but the more he waited, the more anxious he became, I don't know why, the uneasiness in his heart increased little by little. Finally, the remnants of the soldiers returned, they failed to capture the artillery positions of the Han Chinese, and brought back a heartbreaking news. His brother Mang Gurtai was gone, and on the way to escape, he died on the battlefield.

Dai Shan only felt that the world was spinning, and then he let out a sad cry, and the whole person fell backwards. The people next to him were busy working for a while, and finally woke up Dai Shan. When he opened his eyes, Dai Shan burst into tears, "Mang Gurtai, it's not worth your death!" ”

Mang Gurtai was killed in battle, and Daishan fainted, almost heralding the end of the battle. The artillery fire was still spreading, He Jingyuan obeyed Tiemo's order, and fired all the shells out without his life, and under the baptism of artillery fire, the Jurchens' attack went from fierce to decaying, and finally sparsely pulled and was on the verge of despair. Tiemo finally ordered a counterattack, because the Jurchens at this time were already exhausted and their morale collapsed.

Zhou Dingshan raised the gun in his hand, and the bruises in his wrists skyrocketed, "Kill the Tartar!" ”

The horn sounded, the infantry pressed forward, and the cavalry rushed over like a fierce tiger out of the mountain. And He Jingyuan used the last cannonball in his hand to extend the blow and cooperate with the cavalry charge.

In the powerful artillery fire, the new war mode, the brave Jurchens are like broken rags, shaking in the wind. Collapse, complete collapse, whether it was the Jurchens, or the cavalry of Karaqin, they all fled south, trying to pick up a life. From Gyeongju to Karaqin, the land of more than 50 miles has turned into a long road of death, and people continue to fall, staining the knives in other people's hands.

On the tenth day of the first month of the second year of Chongzhen, the Yunfu Iron Cavalry and the Daishan Department fought under the city of Gyeongju, and the new artillery fire of this battle appeared on the battlefield for the first time and achieved a decisive victory. In two days, from Gyeongju to Karaqin, the Yunfu Iron Cavalry defeated the Jurchen coalition army, killing more than 10,000 people, and at the same time, the Later Jin Kingdom Beile Mang Gurtai also died on the battlefield.

After defeating the Daishan army, the Yunfu Iron Cavalry did not stop for half a moment, and directly followed the periphery of Karaqin and killed towards Xifengkou.

In the Battle of Gyeongju, Daishan was defeated, and the news not only shocked Huang Taiji, but also Lin Dan Khan. At this time, Lin Dan Khan was glad that he did not make a rash move, otherwise it would not be Dai Shan who was unlucky, but Lin Dan Khan. This iron ink is really cunning, and he actually hides so many artillery, and if he doesn't use it, he will kill people if he uses it. Daishan is also a generation of famous generals, and when he was defenseless, he was also beaten to the point of being powerless, and he buried Mang Gurtai under the city of Gyeongju.

In the north of Xifengkou, Huang Taiji briefly stayed in a place called Luomapo. Sitting on a high slope, watching the sunset, the sky is like blood, and the withered grass is whimpering in the cold wind. The sky is like Huang Taiji's mood, heartbroken. Mang Gurtai is actually dead, how much he wants to take revenge, that Yunfu soldiers and horses are coming towards Xifengkou, and soon the two sides will collide together, so they want to intercept it head-on and slaughter this group of guys.

Huang Taiji hated the man named Tie Mo so much that he wanted to swallow this person alive. But no.

Now the morale of the army is low, and the morale of the various armies is disheartened, and each has a ghost. In this case, if you fight to the death with the soldiers and horses of Yunfu, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties and too big losses, even if you return to Shenyang, how to suppress the soaring strength of Dolgon?

This time, the detention was planned for a long time, not only to seize a large amount of materials, but also to make his position as Emperor Taiji more stable. In order to reduce the threat, Dolgon was not even allowed to enter the customs. But who would have thought that the Yunfu soldiers and horses would go all the way to the Karaqin Department, and Dolgon would enter Shenyang in silence and collect all the departments, so to speak, the strength in Dolgon's hands had risen a lot at this time. In contrast, due to the hasty withdrawal of troops, the benefits obtained from entering the customs were far lower than they had expected, and the distribution of benefits afterwards would inevitably make some tribes dissatisfied.

In this case, if a big war is waged and the losses are heavy, I am afraid that there will be more tribes who are not convinced, and at that time, Dorgon will secretly laugh off the big teeth.

The most terrible thing is that Hou Shilu is like a mad dog, leading the elite soldiers of Xuanfu and Datong Mansion to follow behind.

.......

On the twelfth day of the lunar month, the Yunfu Iron Cavalry and the main force of the Houjin led by Huang Taiji were less than thirty miles apart, and what was strange was that the two sides maintained a tacit distance, and no one launched an attack.

Huang Taiji's life is not good, and he is jealous, and Tiemo is also jealous. The cannonballs have been gone, in order to defeat Daishan and deter the heroes, but all the shells that have been accumulated for half a year have been shot out. At this time, the cannon in his hand is a toothless tiger. Right now, it's all up to the aftermath of the Gyeongju War to bluff people. The Jurchens really want to kill them, and they really don't have any ruts at all, so they can only fight hard.

Fighting head-on, Tiemo is not sure at all, conventional battles, you may be able to win, but in the end, you must have suffered heavy casualties.

The goal of coercing Liaodong and forcing the Jurchens to return to their division has been achieved, and other casualties can be avoided.

On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, Li Jiasheng's vanguard cavalry met Zhou Dingshan's vanguard, and at this time, Huang Taiji had no chance even if he wanted to fight hard. Under the response of Hou Shilu, the army of Yunfu came to Xifengkou and returned to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty.
